​Join us for an exciting discussion about the world of policy languages with the co-creators and product managers of AWS Cedar and OpenFGA. Our speakers will share their unique experiences creating these new "programming" languages and discuss their importance in decoupling policy from code.

​We'll explore the concept of 'everything as code' and how it helps developers deliver business value faster, the pros and cons of creating a new language (With OpenFGA being based on existing languages and Cedar introducing a whole new syntax), address the learning curve barrier faced by developers who are hesitant to learn a whole new language, and compare the differences between Policy as Graph and Policy as Code.

​We also aim to guide you through choosing the right language for your needs and whether there's any justification for using both languages together.

​Looking forward to seeing you there!
